About us
We believe that General
Practice is the cornerstone of our health and care system, providing holistic
care to individuals and families to live independent, healthy, fulfilled
lives.
The GP federation – Taurus
Healthcare - was created by all Herefordshire GP practices supporting this
ethos, to collaborate and maximise the time that GPs and their teams have to
focus on patient care.
Working collaboratively
allows us to support various back office and management functions, as well as
delivering some clinical services that require scale, to provide general
practice services across 24 hours, 7 days a week.
GP practices retain their individual
leadership and responsibilities but are supported by a wider leadership team
underpinned by the federation; this enables us to partner with local health
and social care organisations, to help coordinate prevention and early
intervention and maximise opportunities for more ‘joined up’ care.
